Day One: Tears, Trailers, and Trepidation

To say that the past few days/weeks preparing for this move were stressful would be an understatement. Fortunately, Ian and I have managed not to threaten divorce during these trying times. Did I cry a lot? Yes. Did we stress eat? Maybe a little. But given all of the chaos and change and lack of routine that we’ve been dealing with, we haven’t been at each other’s throats, which I guess is a good sign.

Ian started his new role with his Salt Lake City team at Northrop at the beginning of August and has been doing that remotely for a few weeks now. My last day at A Wider Circle was August 13, and as of the writing of this post I am still unemployed. I was a top contender for a job overseeing the volunteer program at an equine therapy farm, but they never got back to me about whether or not I actually got a job after the final interview a week ago, so it’s not looking quite as promising as it once was. We shall see, I suppose.

Anyway, we are both very sad to leave home. I don’t want to get too much into it because I will most definitely start crying again. We’re going to try to post updates and photos and things on this site to keep everyone in the loop on how we’re doing and what the real deal is with all those Mormons. What you’re realistically going to get is a bunch of photos with my stream of consciousness commentary, so read on if you dare!

We love and miss you all already!

Until next time,

Chloe & Ian
